The Latest

Saturday, October 3, 2015

Dr. Ken had a promising start for ABC, opening with a 1.4 demo rating that was two tenths above its Last Man Standing lead-in (1.2, up a tenth from last week). This was a tenth above last year's Cristela premiere. Cristela held up decently post-premiere, but Ken has given itself room to drop a little more steeply and still be a legit timeslot improvement. Shark Tank (1.7) looked good as well, matching last week's premiere, though 20/20 (1.1) rounded out the night weakly.

It was status quo in week two on CBS, which was great news for Blue Bloods (1.3, still on the year-to-year upside), good news for The Amazing Race (1.2) and continued bad news for Hawaii Five-0 (1.0).

The CW moved America's Next Top Model to Friday with its usual 0.4, matching its Friday opener from last year. Reign joins the mix next week, replacing Masters of Illusion which wrapped with a one-hour finale (0.3/0.3).

A week before NBC gets in the scripted original game with Undateable, repeats of Grandfathered (0.8), The Grinder (0.6), The Player (0.6) and Scream Queens (0.4) populated the other two networks.
